E-bikes could get faster, more powerful and not require pedaling, in a move announced today by UKGOV. Cycling organizations are opposed to the plans.

In the US you (hardly) have any bicycle infastructure and ride on the same road as cars.
In the Netherlands bikes and vulnerable traffic ride on seperate lanes. Introducing bikes that go 50 km/s there driven by 10 years creates a problem. This issue simply doesnt exist in the US, hence the different classification and laws
Also: Many fatbikes here are illegal and/or tweaked. People simply dont care and ride around uninsured and unsafe at 50 km/s while using their phone.
50km/s is 3600km/h.
Mach 2,9. Man, those ebikes are fucking flying. I get why’d you’d be worried, that’s dangerous
Haha… I totally missed that. Thanks for pointing that out.
That seems like it would result in serious injury…
